DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project, entitled Taking Community Action Against Pain, addresses the problem of chronic pain (CP) in older persons, which is a highly prevalent, morbid, and costly disorder that is associated with a substantial burden of suffering in this age group. Evidence-based treatments for CP in the form of self- management programs have been developed for use in the community and have demonstrated efficacy, but have not been widely disseminated. Numerous barriers likely exist at the individual, program, and cultural level that have a negative impact on program translation efforts and are in need of characterization. The development of strategies to overcome the barriers is necessary to improve both program reach and program benefits. Using community based participatory research (CBPR), this application seeks to answer the following scientific questions: 1) What are the major barriers to adoption of and adherence to a pain-reduction protocol by seniors with CP?; 2) How can an evidence-based pain protocol be adapted using CBPR to better meet the needs of seniors from three distinct race/ethnicity groups including African American, Hispanic American, and non-Hispanic White Americans?; and 3) What is the effect of using a CBPR-based program versus a conventional CP program on the effectiveness of the pain protocol? The following aims are proposed to address the above questions: 1) Expand and maintain existing community-researcher partnerships, 2) Access local knowledge and resources to design optimal methods for program implementation and possible adaptation; 3) Synthesize findings from these activities to generate pain programs for our senior center partners; 4) Pilot test the new programs; and 5) Compare CBPR program outcomes to those generated via the conventional pain program, i.e., `usual care', and 6) Disseminate project findings and related products. Anticipated products of this project include: 1) Pilot data for use in a subsequent R01 application; 2) New programs are anticipated to emerge as a result of accessing the collective resources and knowledge of our community partners; 3) Knowledge regarding the effects of using CBPR versus `usual care' on the effectiveness of a pain intervention program; and 4) Publication of scholarly articles and reports tailored to a wide range of practitioners. The project will take place in culturally diverse senior centers located throughout New York City, which is appropriate given that 10 million older adults (up to 50% of whom have CP) currently use services provided by over 15,000 senior centers in the U.S. The planned work has significant potential to reduce the substantial morbidity and suffering associated with CP among seniors. This project seeks to improve the health and well being of older adults with chronic pain due to arthritis and/or arthritis-related diseases. The project will develop and test culturally sensitive pain-management programs for use in the community by adults aged 65 and above who belong to one of 3 race/ethnicity groups: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and non-Hispanic White Americans. To ensure cultural relevance of the programs, the investigators have proposed to partner with diverse community groups to include older adults with chronic pain as well as staff from centers that will ultimately host the programs (e.g., senior centers).

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的项目题为《采取社区行动对抗疼痛》，旨在解决老年人的慢性疼痛问题，这是一种非常普遍、病态和代价高昂的疾病，与这一年龄段的巨大痛苦负担有关。以自我管理方案的形式对CP进行循证治疗已被开发用于社区，并已证明有效，但尚未广泛传播。在个人、计划和文化层面上可能存在许多障碍，这些障碍对计划翻译工作有负面影响，需要确定其特征。制定克服障碍的战略对于提高方案覆盖面和方案效益是必要的。使用基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)，此应用程序试图回答以下科学问题：1)患有CP的老年人采用和遵守止痛方案的主要障碍是什么？2)如何使用CBPR调整基于证据的止痛方案，以更好地满足来自三个不同种族/民族的老年人的需求，包括非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和非西班牙裔美国白人？以及3)使用基于CBPR的方案与传统的CP方案相比，对止痛方案的有效性有何影响？提出以下目标是为了解决上述问题：1)扩大和维持现有的社区-研究人员合作伙伴关系；2)获取当地知识和资源，为计划实施和可能的适应设计最佳方法；3)综合这些活动的结果，为我们的老年中心合作伙伴生成疼痛计划；4)对新计划进行试点测试；以及5)将CBPR计划的结果与通过传统疼痛计划产生的结果进行比较，即‘日常护理’，以及6)传播项目结果和相关产品。该项目的预期产品包括：1)在随后的R01应用中使用的试验数据；2)由于获得我们社区合作伙伴的集体资源和知识，预计将出现新的计划；3)关于使用CBPR与“常规护理”对疼痛干预计划有效性的影响的知识；以及4)出版为广泛的从业者量身定做的学术文章和报告。该项目将在纽约市各地文化多元化的老年中心进行，鉴于目前有1000万老年人(其中多达50%患有CP)正在使用美国15,000多家老年中心提供的服务，这是合适的。计划中的工作具有显著的潜力，可以减少老年人中与CP相关的大量发病率和痛苦。 该项目旨在改善因关节炎和/或关节炎相关疾病而患有慢性疼痛的老年人的健康和福祉。该项目将开发和测试具有文化敏感性的疼痛管理程序，供65岁及以上的成年人使用，这些成年人属于以下三个种族/民族之一：非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和非西班牙裔美国白人。为了确保这些计划的文化相关性，调查人员建议与不同的社区团体合作，包括患有慢性疼痛的老年人以及最终将主办这些计划的中心(例如，老年中心)的工作人员。
